Book 1 of the Treasures of Tartary trilogy

Black Chamber alternate history universe

Teddy Roosevelt has steered the Progressive Republican Party and the United States through the Mexican insurrection, and what would have been World War I. Mexico has become a part of the United States, but Europe has been destroyed by the Kaiser’s v-gas. Japan, Germany, and what’s left of the British Commonwealth are struggling for supremacy in the new world of the Twentieth Century.

Roosevelt has created a spy agency called the Black Chamber, and two of his best Black Chamber agents are Luz O’Malley and her lover, Ciara Whelan. Luz and Ciara are tasked to figure out where all the Chinese antiquities being smuggled into the USA are coming from. As they dig deeper and deeper, bodies keep turning up all over Chinatown and it is no better in Shanghai. Luz and Ciara have to watch out for daggers in the dark.

The first novel in a brand-new alternate history series where Teddy Roosevelt is president for a second time right before WWI breaks out, and on his side is the Black Chamber, a secret spy network watching America's back.

1916. The Great War rages overseas, and the whole of Europe, Africa, and western Asia is falling to the Central Powers. To win a war that must be won, Teddy Roosevelt, once again the American president, turns to his top secret Black Chamber organization--and its cunning and deadly spy, Luz O'Malley Aróstegui.

On a transatlantic airship voyage, Luz poses as an anti-American Mexican revolutionary to get close--very close--to a German agent code-named Imperial Sword. She'll need every skill at her disposal to get him to trust her and lead her deep into enemy territory. In the mountains of Saxony, concealed from allied eyes, the German Reich's plans for keeping the U.S. from entering the conflict are revealed: the deployment of a new diabolical weapon upon the shores of America...

S. M. Stirling’s Novels of the Change are a “truly original combination of postapocalyptic sci-fi and military-oriented medieval fantasy”* about a future where mysterious Powers removed advanced technology, and humanity rebuilds society. However, this new world is not always a peaceful one....

The spirit of troubadour Prince John, the brother of Crown Princess Órlaith, has fallen captive to the power of the Yellow Raja and his servant, the Pallid Mask. Prince John’s motley band of friends and followers—headed by Captain Pip of Townsville and Deor Godulfson—must lead a quest through realms of shadow and dreams to rescue Prince John from a threat far worse than death.

Meanwhile, across the sea, Japanese Empress Reiko and Órlaith, heir to the High Kingdom of Montival, muster their kingdoms for war, making common cause with the reborn Kingdom of Hawaii. But more than weapons or even the dark magic of the sorcerers of Pyongyang threaten them; Órlaith's lover, Alan Thurston, might be more than he appears.

From the tropical waters off Hilo and Pearl Harbor, to the jungles and lost cities of the Ceram Sea, a game will be played where the fate of the world is at stake.

И среди всех планет, окружающих Солнце, только одна окружена аурой романтики, таинственности и приключений - Марс. Джеймс Кори, Майкл Муркок, Майк Резник, Говард Уолдроп, Йен Макдональд, и другие в этой блестящей…

Капсульник Симеон, «мозг», управляющий космической станцией SSS-900, никак не желает принимать в качестве нового «тела»-партнера Чанну Хэп (согласно материалам досье — молодую, амбициозную, с твердым характером особу) и делает для этого все от него зависящее. Однако, когда на борт станции сходит деловая, обаятельная, образованная и чертовски привлекательная женщина, ему волей-неволей приходится пересмотреть свое к ней отношение. И вовремя, потому что буквально через несколько недель после кадровых перестановок SSS-900 оказывается втянута в хоровод невероятных трагических событий, когда ее обитателям становится не до личных разборок, когда жизнь каждого начинает зависеть от действий соседа и коллеги, а надежда на победу не умрет, только если ее поддержат руки всех.

The Narn have been greatly wronged by the Centauri. During the domination of their world by that sophisticated and ruthless people, the Narn were slaves in all but name; forced to watch as their world was stripped of everything of value. And when at last they succeeded in driving the hated dictators from Narn space, they were left with little but their freedom.

They hate the Centauri, but have learned from them. The Narn sought out other worlds, rich with resources to supply their beggared home-world. They found them. And when those worlds had native populations, the Narn conquered them, enslaved them, and exploited them as ruthlessly as ever the Centauri at their worst might have. Now, the Centauri have struck again at the Narn and the two powers are embroiled in battle. It is a time when an enslaved people might see an opportunity to strike at their enemy; perhaps win their freedom. But in every conflict there comes a lull, a time when exhaustion temporarily causes even the bitterest opponents to call a truce, to rest and recoup, a time when allies try to make peace between the combatants, a time when reluctant rebels might hope for a peaceful solution before they drench their own hands in blood.

Фантаст Кристофер Сташефф обратился однажды к собратьям по перу с интересным предложением: написать произведение о мире, где физические законы уживаются с волшебством. Вот только оно не всегда постоянно, вместе с обычными атмосферными явлениями там действуют и «антимагические» циклоны.
Действие рассказа происходит именно в таком мире.
Соперничество в похищении редких волшебных вещей между колдуньей Афонией и магом Малагиросом длится уже несколько лет с переменным успехом. Жителям Города такое «партнерство» не приносит никакой пользы, и, чтобы противостояние прекратилось, они предлагают провести магам последнее состязание, причем проигравший должен уйти из Города навсегда.
